This is a seperate topic.....this isnt about mental illness, this is about me being banned from the group

I won the two firgging votes, let me back in please

If this is about mental illness.....he was the one who said that a large percentage of americans HAVE mental illness, his words, not mine, so he was the one who said it is a real thing. Look and see for yourself

Ok fine. I created a separate thread about the psychiatry/professional help issue for you here:

It was clear to you because you paid attention to what i am saying , it wont be clear to others if they block me and ignore me and strawman me

Ask the question in a new thread and tag me please . this thread has already been railroaded enough

You are a piece of shit who shouldn't be posting in real people's threads. Just shut the f**k up.

Cornfed, please don't insult people like that. Try to be more tactful please. We are trying to have an intelligent constructive discussion here. Not a flame war. You will receive a warning on your account for that.

Please keep in mind that in the poll about banning you, a slight majority voted to ban you. So you are still here by grace only.

Winston, clearly this guy is in fact a troll or just a moron who has no idea how to conduct himself on a message board. The fact that he seems to have moderated himself a bit would tend to suggest the former, but I'm not sure. As to banning me, if you recall you did in fact ban me and it is arguably grace only that caused me to come back. Maybe we were graceful toward each other.

@MattHanson1990 if you're not gonna participate in this thread or address questions, then I'm gonna have to unban Darrell and add him to the group again. Because your non-response lets him win by default. Also I cannot find any posts by Darrell where he tell us our problems are our fault or that we are to blame.

@Darrell_Johnston if you are let back into the FB group, we hope you will continue participating here too from time to time, and not forget us. Otherwise, I'm sure some of the guys here will miss you. lol. I know it's hard to keep up with both this forum and the FB group though, as that is time consuming. That's why most only keep up with one or the other.

Darrell, please learn to be tactful this time and not give people the wrong impression about blaming themselves, etc.

We hope you will still be able to participate here. If not, then best of luck to you. I know it's hard to find time to keep up with both mediums, the forum and FB group. But try to find time to give us a trip report of your life in Vietnam sometime, if you have the time. Thanks.

Can you see a contradiction there? There are no posts where I tell people to blame themselves, but I have to promise to stop saying that? I cant promise to stop saying something I never said. I will never say it because its not what I think. I talk about responsibility, not blame. Its not my fault that other people dont understand that.

Regardless, thanks for being fair in this shambles.

Now, Matt is the one who obviously booted me for the wrong reasons, but yet I am the one being held accountable. I want some reassurance before I post there again that Matt will not boot me again every time I disagree with him. Because this is a clear abuse of power and isn't fair.

Well if some people think you said that then you mist have implied that or insinuated that somehow. So i meant to stop giving people that impression.

Ill tell matt not to ban you. But i cant give an assurance since he refuses to comment on this matter and wont say anything either way. But im sure he will try to refrain from banning you. But you gotta take responsibility too. In a feud both parties usually are partly responsible. Not just one side.

Im not responsible for other peoples impression, they are responsible for clarifying or asking me,

There was no feud, there is never any debate or reason or discourse with Matt, the moment I disagree.....its *CLICK* and I am gone.

If what you are saying is dont ever disagree with him again...why not?

I should receive an apology for his unfair treatment. He invented reasons to ban me and couldn't back them up because they were not true, just true in his own head. Hence, his silence speaks volumes. It's clearly because he can't stand losing a debate, the guy types before he thinks and when I challenge him he takes it thick

If he doesn't want to apologise.....thats fine, but he should at least speak to me. I propose that you he and I have a 3 way PM in here.

Talk about victim mentality. You'll get nowhere blaming others for your shortcomings. Other people aren't being banned, so it therefore follows that they must be generally superior to you and you just need to stop whining and pull your socks up.

LOL. I can't make him apologize. You know how men are. They never apologize and never like to admit that they are wrong. I have no problem apologizing to people if I make a mistake or do something wrong. But most guys cannot. Their ego is huge, not humble like me. lol

Ok I will PM Matt and let him know not to ban you. But he is emotional and you if you piss him off, sometimes he will ban you out of anger. You gotta learn to be tactful man.

Some of your posts do sound like you are implying that we should blame ourselves. I get the sense of that too. Maybe you can't see that. But others can. We tend to be blind to our own faults.
